GOOD NEWS: Coventry City Has Appointed A New Coach

Forest Green Rovers have named David Horseman, Southampton’s B team manager, as their next head coach.

He succeeds Hannah Dingley, the first woman to manage a professional men’s team in England, who has been in interim command since July 5.

Horseman was also the Saints’ first-team coach last season, working under Ruben Selles.

Reading boss Ruben Selles says he 'is not concerned' about his position  with the club - BBC Sport

“I’m grateful to Hannah for holding the fort for the club while we went through the complete recruitment process,” stated owner/chairman Dale Vince.

“Although she did not get the top job this time, it’s undoubtedly been a valuable experience and a big step on her career path.”

Dingley, who holds a Uefa Pro Licence and founded the club’s ladies academy in 2021, led the club’s first pre-season game against non-league Melksham Town and travelled to Ireland.

She will also oversee this week’s friendly against Coventry City and Everton Under-21s, with Horseman and assistant Louis Carey assuming their responsibilities on Thursday.
